The museum was founded in 1833 by members of the Worcestershire Natural History Society.[2] It is located in a Victorian building in central Worcester, which opened in 1896.[1] The Worcestershire Regiment Museum collection moved from Norton Barracks to the Worcester City Art Gallery & Museum in 1970.[3]
In 2021 the Art Gallery & Museum received a donation of £300,000 from an unnamed donor.[4][5]
The gallery has a programme of contemporary art and craft exhibitions.[6] Displays include the industrial history of Worcester, local geology, natural history, together with 19th- and 20th-century paintings, prints, and photographs.[7] The Worcester Soldier galleries display the collections of the Worcestershire Regiment and the Queen's Own Worcestershire Hussars.[8]
